[U] Under Friday Night Lights: Injured Plaintiff States (As Amici) Weigh In On Muslim Ban 3.0 -- In Seattle...


Here are those 47 pages -- a worthy read, indeed. Here's an excerpt -- one that bodes ill, for our nation maintaining a leadership role -- in the curating and advancing all those fast breaking innovations now underway in all the hard sciences -- as the future arrives on our doorstep (without even so much as a whiff of Mr. Trump's comprehension, or appreciation. . . of any of it), and then heads up to Canada:

. . . .Graduate departments in science and engineering have reported that “international student applications for many programs declined by 20 to 30 percent for 2017 programs.” Additionally, 80 percent of college registrars and admissions officials surveyed have serious concerns about their future application yields from international students. And 46 percent of graduate deans have reported “substantial” declines in admission yields for international students.

Not surprisingly, countries that are perceived as more welcoming -- such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand -- have already seen a jump in applications in this same time period. This drain of highly qualified student talent will continue under the Proclamation. . . .


Top tier talent knows no geopolitical boundaries. Do enjoy the bedtime reading -- and see 45, for what he really is -- at base. For the sake of a complete record, here is 45's opening brief, filed late Friday night.
